Aids

Famous quotes containing the word aids:

    Manners aim to facilitate life, to get rid of impediments, and bring the man pure to energize. They aid our dealing and conversation, as a railway aids travelling, by getting rid of all avoidable obstructions of the road, and leaving nothing to be conquered but pure space.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Sometimes I have a terrible feeling that I am dying not from the virus, but from being untouchable.
    Amanda Heggs, British AIDS sufferer. Quoted in Guardian (London, June 12, 1989)

    The moral immune system of this country has been weakened and attacked, and the AIDS virus is the perfect metaphor for it. The malignant neglect of the last twelve years has led to breakdown of our country’s immune system, environmentally, culturally, politically, spiritually and physically.
    Barbra Streisand (b. 1942)
